Owen Hargreaves has reportedly been dealt a fresh injury blow after damaging his shoulder in training.
Fears United midfielder could miss rest of the season
Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves has reportedly been dealt a fresh injury blow after damaging his shoulder in training.
The midfielder had been in contention for a possible return to action for Sir Alex Ferguson's side until the latest setback.
According to the
Daily Mail, Hargreaves picked up the injury when challenging for a header in training and fell awkwardly on his shoulder.
The 30-year-old had X-rays and it is feared he has sustained ligament damage and is now likely to miss the rest of the season.
Hargreaves has played just six minutes of first-team football since September 2008 after twice having to recover from knee surgery and also a torn hamstring suffered in his latest comeback against Wolves back in November.
The England international was signed in May 2007 for £17million from Bayern Munich and has played just 39 times for the club.
Hargreaves' contract with United expires at the end of the season.
